Stillwater Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The next daytrip from Cairns leads us up the Barron river... ... following the gorge to Barron Falls. Once again I have missed the virtual rain season. Kuranda city, a touristic highlight at the beginning of the Tableland. And below us is Leila´s airstrip, an artistic highlight of OZx-land. We go on southwards over the Atherton Tableland... ... to make a stop for lunch at Mareeba. The choice of the plane was already done when this flight plan was made. Here we go again... ... towards Atherton, ... ... then back to the coast over Lake Tinaroo, ... ... and, uuuh, that´s what they call "rainforest", isn´t it? But soon we can drop down back into Cairns... Crosswind, as ever so often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Mmmmh, what a compliment John! I was glad my AS16 was working again, now with 4.4 - and I took those clouds just as a slight challenge. 13 hours ago, lifejogger said: Great flight Gerold, the shots of the scenery were super. Thank you John. It really is a pleasure to fly over this scenery and see it moving. 11 hours ago, Rodger Pettichord said: Hey Gerold. Such a nice variety in such a short distance. And I loved that final capture. Thanks! Thanks Rodger. I think the Tablelands go up to about 1500 ft, together with the mountains it gives a significant weather change from the tropical coast. 10 hours ago, lauriebe said: Great set Gerold.

Captain Lars Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Great pictures and great narration, Gerold. You get around a lot in OZ lately! Very interesting to see how the landscape gets more arid and brown as you travel away from the coast towards the hinterland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
